While these programs are from the 1950 series sponsored by the Navy, they are the original episodes from 1934. The 1934 programs featured interviews with Babe Ruth by sportswriter Steve Martin. The Quaker Oats spots (which took up a great deal of the program, much like Jack Armstrong's Wheaties commercials) were substituted with additional dialog by Jackson Beck, including those commercials for the Navy.

It's the same program with different clothing.

Subject: Adventure with the Navy and Babe Ruth
These shows are fun for any sports fan and reasonably well dramatized if a bit syrupy in their praise of the big fellow. They are not however the mid thirties shows that featured the voice of the Babe, but rather the 1950 series sponsored by the Navy on which he was impersonated.
Again great shows, just listed as the wrong series. Thanks for the upload.
